In fact, these shortcomings were summed up in the months after the Battle of Midway, when the United States entered the war with Japan, the most important point was that they captured a nearly complete Japanese Zero fighter, of course, in Han Yunhua's view, luck accounted for the vast majority, and it was extremely accidental.

The Battle of Midway was of great significance for the Allies to break the invincibility of the Zero hegemony. In this battle, a large number of fuel-loaded Zero fighters were destroyed on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier just before takeoff, which was also a turning point for the Zero from triumph to frustration.

In addition, June 3 is also a day not to be forgotten in history. On the way back, he found that the plane fuel had leaked, and he could not return to the mothership, so he had to make an emergency landing on the tundra of Akutan Island, a desert island. The floppy tundra trapped, and the fuselage overturned, breaking Koga's neck. Five weeks later, an American search team found the plane and Koga, who was hanging upside down in his seat, died. The plane was almost intact, except for two holes in the fuel tank, which were pierced by ground machine guns. This was the most important capture of the US military during the Pacific War, and the US military immediately packed the aircraft back to the United States, repaired and conducted test flights, and found ways to deal with the Zero through test flights and designed a new fighter according to the characteristics of the Zero.

After the performance of the Zero was declassified, the US military had a targeted design before designing the new fighter, and designed a new fighter according to the weaknesses of the Japanese Zero fighter. Of course, the U.S. Air Force Command was also extremely efficient, and immediately found an effective tactic based on the existing equipment against the Zero. This tactic is somewhat similar to that of the air guerrillas, and it can barely be worked if summed up in the 16-character principle of guerrilla warfare. The tactics formulated by the United States to deal with the Japanese Zero fighter are indeed very scoundrels, before the F6F shrew design and production that specifically restrained the Zero type, the US pilots took advantage of the characteristics of the Zero type dive ability to take a hit-and-run assault method against the Japanese bombers escorted by the Zero type, which could avoid the interception of the Zero type, which greatly reduced the escort effect of the zero type, and avoided being shot down by the zero type by means of diving and escaping, and the application of this tactic made the US military before the F6F and P47/51 entered service. Thousands of pilots were able to escape under the guns of the Zero, saving the lives of hundreds of Allied pilots, and stopping the further and sharp deterioration of the Allied air situation caused by the Zero in time, and at the same time dealing a heavy blow to the Japanese bomber force, effectively reversing the unfavorable situation in the air.

This kind of guerrilla warfare in the air, though somewhat reckless, was so effective that it forced the Japanese Air Force to declare that if the United States Air Force was to be so rogue any longer, the Japanese Air Force would regard it as a guerrilla force and that all pilots would revoke all the rights of prisoners of war under all Geneva Conventions. Using this tactic, in the subsequent naval and air battles in the East Solomon Islands in August and Santa Cruz in October, the U.S. Navy not only succeeded in dispelling the panic caused by the Japanese Zero fighters, but also caused the Japanese Navy to lose a large number of excellent pilots.

This tactic was used by American GIs until mid-1943, and at this time, the Zero fighter was no match for the US military's use of the new F6F and F4U fighters in terms of performance and pilot level. Zero's happy days are gone, and it ends up being a suicide plane.

As Han Yunhua and Colonel Mesler said, his air force was trained using this tactic, and it is not false at all. Although Shangguan Qingyun is a top student who graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, he is not an orthodox air force commander, but is only interested in air combat, and can be regarded as self-taught. However, after Han Yunhua handed over to Shangguan Qingyun the tactical data on dealing with the Type Zero fighter, the aviation unit of the Inner Mongolia Military Region could easily defeat the opponent by using the advantage of the Type 96 fighter when dealing with the Japanese Type 96 fighter, and when encountering the same Type Zero fighter, it could use this effective tactic to win a surprise victory. In addition, so far, the Japanese naval and land aviation units have only been equipped with a total of 300 Zero fighters, and 250 of them have been transferred to the Southeast Asian battlefield, while the 50 planes on the Chinese battlefield have been captured by the Inner Mongolia Military Region 44 planes, and the rest have all been destroyed at the airport, so the air force of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, which has only less than 50 fighters, miraculously survived and was not killed by the Japanese Air Force in the first round of battles. …,

Based on the above factors, Han Yunhua believes that this tactic can definitely save the suffering US Navy and Air Force. Moreover, now that history has changed, it is unknown whether the Japanese Zero fighter can make a forced landing on that island by chance, and it is also unknown whether the American patrol can spot the plane. Another is the question of time, according to the time calculation, the current US patrol should not have obtained the Zero fighter, so Han Yunhua will make a bid for the United States to use the fighter to exchange tactics.

Colonel Mesler knew better than any other person in the U.S. Navy and Air Force, and he knew that if there were no effective methods and tactics to restrain the Japanese Zeros, the U.S. Air Force would have no choice but to use the U.S. Air Force to fight the Japanese Air Force, and this tactic would not necessarily be successful.

US President Roosevelt personally ordered Stilwell to obtain the information in Han Yunhua's hands at all costs, because it was related to the lives of hundreds of American pilots, and it was also related to the issue of air supremacy in all regions of the entire Pacific theater, and a little price was still worth it.

To the surprise of Roosevelt and Stilwell, Han Yunhua was surprisingly easy to speak, originally thinking logically from the West, Roosevelt thought that he would have to negotiate with Han Yunhua several rounds and bargain before reaching an agreement. However, he did not expect that Han Yunhua not only immediately handed over all the information in his hand to Colonel Mesler, but was also willing to send one of the few Zero fighters in his hand to the US government for the US government's research.

Roosevelt was very grateful for Han Yunhua's move, and he assured Han Yunhua through Colonel Mesler that as long as Han Yunhua's information was valid or that the Zero fighter could reach India smoothly, then the US government would keep its promise, and 200 P40 and 100 long-range bombers would definitely be delivered to Han Yunhua as soon as possible.

In addition, in the end, Han Yunhua put forward a request that the US government could support some air defense weapons in the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and Roosevelt agreed after a little consideration, so many fighters were sent in, and some air defense weapons were just icing on the cake, and if they were sent, they would be sent, compared to the Zero fighter, everything was a floating cloud, and there was no advanced tactics to deal with the Zero fighter, and no matter how many P40s and wildcats were the meat in the mouth of the Zero fighter, Thinking about the so many fighter planes shot down by the Japanese and the pilots Roosevelt who died in the battle, it hurts to feel heartache, and the pressure put on the US Congress by the families of those pilots is also a headache for the US government.

The United States is happy to enter, but Japan is not happy, especially in the Japanese base camp, which is quite and extremely unhappy. Han Yunhua's provocations were common, and they were used to it. After receiving the battle report from General Yamada Oto, the base camp was angry and had no way at all, and with the support of Soviet Russia, the Inner Mongolia Military Region was like a tiger with wings. The intelligence agency has confirmed that the kind of tank that Major General Inoue Taro never forgot when he was dying was actually the latest tank that Soviet Russia entered to support the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and the model should be the T-34 that Soviet Russia had just successfully designed, and the number should be about 100, and the rest are old 1-day tanks entered by Soviet Russia, which are about the same as the performance of the Type 97 tank of the Japanese Empire.

The base camp attached great importance to the military defeat of the Kwantung Army, and in addition to ordering and reprimanding the Kwantung Army Headquarters, it also withdrew two divisions from the Korean garrison and went north to reinforce the Kwantung Army to make up for the loss of the Kwantung Army Headquarters. …,

In addition, the Japanese army headquarters was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that the Nationalist Government also dared to provoke the Japanese Empire, and ordered the Chinese Dispatch Army Command and the Wang Jingwei regime to immediately formulate a new battle plan, and it was imperative to occupy Changsha and its surrounding areas and deal a fatal blow to the Chinese government.

At the same time, the base camp was very dissatisfied with the fact that the North China Front had not made a breakthrough in encircling and suppressing the New Fourth Army for more than a month, and you must know that in the information of the intelligence organs in the base camp, the New Fourth Army was simply a peasant army, with almost no regular army at all, and the number of soldiers was extremely small, and not more than 30,000 guerrillas were included, including those guerrillas with elusive and low combat effectiveness.

Although the North China Front has gained the upper hand, it may still be difficult to completely wipe out the New Fourth Army in a short period of time or drive it out of northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui. In addition, during this period, the North China Front was ambushed by the New Fourth Army and the main force of the Sulu Theater of the Nationalist Government, resulting in an infantry brigade being disabled. Not surprisingly, a telegram reprimanding the North China Front Command was also issued at this time, followed by an order demanding that the North China Front end its military attack on the New Fourth Army as soon as possible
